Type of article: Article

Summary

Presents an investigation of the application of room radiators for cooling and dehumidification in buildings in hot and humid climates. The radiator is brought below the dew point temperature of the room air, thereby creating condensation on the radiator surface. Uses climate chamber tests to verify a mathematical model describing the heat transfer regime. States results show the importance of the radiant transfer component for thermal comfort and suggests that more emphasis should be placed on this during design.
